eyolf reviewed Seierherrene by Roy Jacobsen
Review of 'Seierherrene' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The first part is a tremendous description of life in northern Norway at a time when this was still a poor country where children went hungry and cold to bed. The second part fast-forwards to the children of the post-war welfare state. The juxtaposition gains in power by the narrative continuity - and, for that matter, the immediate recognizability in my own family history.
